Ford Ecosport review

The ‘world car’ is not a novel concept. If you’re in the business of producing sports cars or luxury cars, making a single model and selling it in as many worldwide markets as possible is standard practice.

It’s only in the mass car market where things are different. And differences between cars of the same size across different regions, to reflect our differing tastes, would be an ever-continuing theme but for the inconvenience to car manufacturers of a near-£1 billion bill every time they develop an all-new car.
